seller buys note on May 13 for $787.88

then sells on June 5 for $599-- a short turn around. I would think seller could not have expected to profit on the flip considering the price he paid. Maybe he needed the money

Looks like the first seller (HGR) sold it to a shill account and then relisted under the shill ID with exact same pics and description.

Rarely do reoffered items bring more the second time around. Plus you identify yourself as one who would rather play games than sell notes.

I agree..shill account.

IMHO, I don't think shill account-- notice that both the first and second listings are open auction style, not buy it now. The first buyer, likely a newbie, probably thought he got a good buy, and could profit by auctioning it again. Or he just needed the money. The results came up short and he took a loss. Happens all the time. Both at the big auctions and ebay.

HGR listings are always private feedback. If you can't smell the aroma off those auctions...

That said, seller account has a history of note flip attempts. Could be guy thought he was buying low and selling high. Heck, he could have easily been the victim of fishy bids. Hidden feedback is a flashing red light of untrustworthy bidding.
